Into the second half and again we struggled to find any flow to our moves, with over hit or too many passes. We did have have a great chance when good play by Leigh Griffiths out wide, his cross in and somehow Antoine-Curier did not throw himself into the six yard box to get the touch. It would have been a certain goal. Alloa kept hitting on the break and took the lead when ex Ayr player Scott Walker headed home, and not long after after they were very unlucky when Scott hit the bar.
Lucky for us that Higgins and McMenamin were on for the tiring Riley and out of form Curier by this time and with just 4 minutes left McMenamin headed home powerfully to level, and with time just about up Higgins scored after a scramble in the Alloa box. His powerful shot hitting keeper Robertson before spinning high into the net.
That was that and Dundee were through, it did look like we were going out, but the two subs did the trick.
Dundee: Fox, Irvine, Forsyth, McKeown, Benedictus, Kerr, Riley, O'Donnell, Harkins, Griffths, Antoine-Curier. Subs: Douglas, McHale, Paton, McMenamin
